Tang Soo Do Books

[Brandon]

Well, most of the books I have can be found on Amazon, but the really tricky one to find is History of the Moo Duk Kwan, ISBN: 0-9631358-7-2  I had to buy it directly from the USSBDMDKF. Here's the website https://www.netforumondemand.com/eweb/shopping/shopping.aspx?site=soobahkdo&cart=0&shopsearch=&shopsearchCat=Merchandise

Thanks Guys I'll check those out

honestly I forget. It's been stashed in my basement since I bought it. It is his manual for his karate schools in the 70's. Has all the forms up to Bassai.

I'll have to check out that Chuck Norris book.  Is it called "The Chuck Norris Karate System"?

Both of those books are in my personal Library. TSD SBK volume one is a must! Vol. 2 is way over priced and not worth it.

I have some good videos. I will have to dig them up so that can post them here.

The "best Karate" series by Nakayama is great also if you study from an old school (ie looking more like Korean Shotokan) http://www.amazon.com/Best-Karate-Vol-5-Heian-Tekki/dp/0870113798. You get some good insight into applications form these books.

If you can dig it up on eBay, the old Chuck Norris Karate School Manual is a fun read

The first one listed is written by Hwang Kee and has detailed pictures with explanations of all of the 33 basic movements used.  It also has the Kee Cho, Pyung Ahn, and Bassai forms.  The beginning includes a history of Korean martial arts, a history of Tang Soo DO, the physics of Tang Soo Do, and a photocoppied version of the Moo Ye Dobo Ton GI.

The second book has pictures and descriptions of the basic movements but is mostly comprised of forms.  It includes the Kee Cho, Pyung Ahn, Chil Sung IL to Sam, Bassai, Naihachi, and several more black belt level forms.

Hi!
Some of you have mentioned some TSD books that you have. Maybe you could let us know what they are, what's in them and how usefull you found them. I would be really interested in hearing about Grandmaster Hwang Kee's books and if possible a ISBN number as I'm finding it hard to get hold of them here in the UK.
